Deactivating back/forward in history by horizontal scrolling

How to I prevent Firefox 17 from browsing back/forward in history when I scroll mousepad horizontally?

I have two possible solutions for you.
1) System Preferences --> Trackpad
"More Gestures" Tab
Change "Swipe between pages" to "Swipe with two or three fingers"
Change "Swipe between full-screen apps" to "swipe left or right with four fingers" (more details ans solutions here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/852880 )
2) Please see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_:_FAQs_:_About:config_Entries#Mousewheel.
In about:config
Set '''mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.action''' to 0
Set '''mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.sysnumlines''' to true
Please let us know whether this resolves the problem. Thanks!

  • Restored session loses back\forward history and some tabs become blank tabs

    Sometimes when restoring my sessions, not all tabs are restored - some restore as blank "new tabs"
    Also, for the tabs that do restore, the back-forward button history is gone.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • In FF 3.6, adjoining the back forward button, there was a dropdown which allowed me to jump to any page in the history list of the tab. This feature is missing in FF4. Is there any setting to enable it?

  • Implement History, Back & Forward in custom code

    Hi All
    We have our custom developed Header Code, where we have controling Personalize, Logout, Favorite & Top level navigation code.
    I want to implement the SAP oup of box history, Back Forward functionality in custom developed code.
    Please help me how to implement SAP History, Back , Forward Functionality in our custom developed code.
    Thanks.
    Helpful answers must be rewared.

    The only way it wouldn't be available is if moving forward opens a new browser window. Look in the bottom right corner of the browser and see if you see a small number inside a box. That would indicate if you have more than one browser window open.
    If not, then it may be necessary for you to try to troubleshoot the phone. First step is to power the phone off/on. If that doesn't help, then the next step is a reset, which is done by holding the home and power button together until you see the Apple logo and then releasing, ignoring the slide to power off screen. If that doesn't help, a restore is next, first from a back up and if no change then as a new phone. However, I don't expect you are going to have to go that far.

  • I just updated to 25.0 and I noticed the History drop down menu has been simplified and Back, Forward and Home are now gone. Can these be restored?

    I am running on a Mac (Lion) with FF 25.0. I typically hide the toolbar because I like to max out my screen space without having to go into full screen mode. So I typically use a custom keyboard command to navigate forward and back during my browser session, but occasionally the keyboard command fails and the page is unresponsive. In the past all I had to do was go up to the History drop down menu and choose "Back" or "Forward". I would also use the "Home" selection to get back to my homepage. But ever since I updated to 25.0 those selection are now gone from the History menu.
    Is there any way to restore them? And are they gone for all users (was this a global change) or are one of my add-ons simply not playing nice and causing this problem? TIA!

    On WinXP Back, Forward, and Home was last in the Firefox 3.6 versions and disappeared as of Firefox 4.0 - and hasn't been seen since.
    Doesn't the Mac OSX versions of Firefox have Back and Forward in the context menu (right-click), as Windows and Linux versions do?

  • How do I get my horizontal scroll bar back?

    Well, I just installed firefox 5 on my computer and for some reason, the bottom horizontal scroll bar you use to move the screen left to right has gone missing. So my question is, how do I get it back?

    I had this problem and it only started after installing firefox v12.0 (on win xp).
    Mozilla mentions it is related to the css 'overflow' attribute not being defined correctly.
    HOWEVER, in my case, the offending line of css belonged to the jquery ui library
    file: jquery-ui-1.7.2.custom.css
    .ui-helper-hidden-accessible { position: absolute; left: -99999999px; }
    all I needed to do was remove one of the '9's and the horizontal scroll bar reappeared on all pages that included this jquery ui lib.
    the better solution would be to upgrade to the latest jquery ui lib.

  • Spry  back/forward history  - bookmarks

    Hi i`m new width spry, and i love it. One thing is making me
    trouble - spry back/forward history and bookmarks managment. I play
    width URLUtilsSample.html in the spry`s samples folder, but i don`t
    know how to implement this utility to work widthout refresh page
    and make browser history posible . Is this posible? Does anyone
    have any example?
    Thanks
    My regards
    p.s. Sory about my english.

    This is easily the most important piece that's missing. As
    someone who's implementing dynamic page loading a history feature
    is ESSENTIAL to making this work. All the fades and effects and
    such are nice but this is easily number one.... and a quick number
    two would be identical behavior between IE and Firefox but that's a
    whole different post... ;)

  • What happened to the recent history with recently closed tabs pulldown that was next to the back/forward buttons in version 5??

    I noticed that i cannot access my recent history or recently closed tabs via the pulldown menu next to the forward/back buttons in the version 5 firefox. How do i do this in this new version?

    Click-hold the unified Back / Forward button, or right-click it to get the Back / Forward history for that tab.
    Or install this extension to get the old "drop-marker" button restored. <br />

  • What happened to the arrow on the back/forward buttons that allow you to jump around in your history?

    In the previous versions of Firefox, there was a small arrow button attached to the back/forward buttons. Clicking this arrow showed a menu of the last 10 sites you visited and allowed you to jump back or forward, without having to press the back button 5 times, for example, to get to the fifth last site you visited. Where did the little arrow go? Can I turn it back on somehow?

    Right click the Back/Forward buttons to get a list of visited sites.

  • [UNSOLVED] Synaptics Touchpad & Firefox: Horizontal Scroll

    Hey guys.. i'm having a problem with my laptop's Synaptics Touchpad and Firefox.
    I can't seem to get my touchpad to allow me to scroll horizontally in the browser (when, say, there's a wide image on a page for instance). Whenever I try to scroll by sliding my finger side-to-side on the bottom edge of my touchpad, the page scrolls up and down, just like the vertical scroll on the right edge!
    At first I thought it was a problem with horizontal scrolling on the Synaptics driver in general, but I discovered that if I have something like File Browser open, I can scroll horizontally with the touchpad, so the problem lies ONLY with Firefox.
    I have looked for solutions already and everything I find only talks about a possible issue where Firefox might treat the Touchpad's horizontal scrolling and Forward and Back actions and how to fix this. But this is not the problem I am having. But I do have mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.action set to 1 in my about:config, which from what I've read is supposed to be correct to allow h. scrolling.
    Any ideas?
    Last edited by flintmecha (2008-12-01 23:24:37)

    FYI, with my Synaptics touch pad and firefox, it works, but I have the mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.action set to 0 (default). In fact, all of the settings in about:config with 'mousewheel' in them are all at the default setting. I just had to setup the xorg.conf (old way) or the the /etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-x11-synaptics.fdi (new way) correctly to enable the horizontal scrolling.
    Good luck!

  • Anyone seeing horizontal-scroll-mode issues with Terminal.app?

    This is more a broadcast of findings than a question, but:
    Related to things here (that is closed/archived):
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/10061606#10061606
    It looks like the version supported locally of bash/readline are working for Terminal.app's default TERM=xterm-256color; however, when sshing to RedHat Enterprise Linux, something goes "sidewasy."
    If I'm seeing things correctly, it looks like the default TERM of xterm-256color isn't well supported by... bash?  readline?  If I leave TERM as default (?) of xterm-256color, then the readline/inputrc config for `set horizontal-scroll-mode Off' is ignored, and I get the hated (by me) horizontal scrolling.  If I:
    export TERM=xterm-color
    in the same session, changing nothing else, and then arrow back "up" into history, I get (my) preferred "vertical" scrolling of my long input command.  Are others seeing this?
    So, it really looks like earlier versions of bash (before 4.x?) and/or readline (before 6.x?) don't properly support xterm-256color as a valid TERM, and must fall down and assume that the terminal doesn't support things like.. uhh... horizontal-scroll-mode Off.  Seems to be fixed by RHEL-6, but a problem in RHEL-4 and RHEL-6.
    I'd originally, mistakenly assumed it was a bug in Terminal.app.
    Again, this doesn't have to do with a Terminal.app session *local* to the Mac itself; but rather if you've ssh'd to a different operating system.

    It is possible that the problem is in the terminfo terminal feature description file for xterm-256color on your Linux systems.
    /usr/share/terminfo/x/xterm-256color
    You can examine the contents of the Mac and the Linux xterm-256color terminfo files using:
    From Mac:     infocmp xterm-256color >tmp.mac
    From Linux:   infocmp xterm-256color >tmp.linux
    ...copy the files to the same system...
    Compare:      gvimdiff tmp.mac tmp.linux     # or just use diff if your prefer
    Actually you may be able to do the compare with infocmp, but I have not experimented with that, and I know how to do the above already, so I went with what I know :-)
    You can modify the infocmp generated output, and then compile a new terminfo file using 'tic' (man tic).  Then again for all I know, the binary format for a terminfo file is identical on Macs and Linux boxes, so you might be able to tranfer the Mac version to your Linux system(s).
    You can use the TERMINFO environment variable to point to a different terminfo database.  See 'man 5 terminfo' for more information.
    Again, all of this assumes that maybe it is the terminfo term-256color file that is different between the 2 systems.

  • Help with code for inserting horizontal scroll bar in photo gallery in Business Catalyst site?

    Hi,
    I am using Business Catalyst and Dreamweaver to create a trial site.
    I am not sure if this is the correct forum to post this request but anyway I have inserted a photo gallery module at the bottom of the sidebar in the homepage of my test site.
    Can anyone advise on whether jquery or any other code can be inserted into the page or module code that will replace the "next" hyperlink below the first 4 photos with a horizontal scroll bar at bottom of the gallery so users can just scroll through all 12 images ?
    Kind Regards, Matt.
    http://craftime-bs6.businesscatalyst.com/

    Alyssa,
    Have you tried putting this rule back as it was originally:
    /* Submenu that is showing with class designation MenuBarSubmenuVisible, we set left to auto so it comes onto the screen below its parent menu item */
    ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul.MenuBarSubmenuVisible
        left: auto; /*was 9px*/
        color: #EF9CCF;
        background-color: #FFF;
    That is, changing your 9px back to auto.
    And giving  us a link (as you did) is much better than printing out the code for us! Thanks!

  • How do I go back to my old version of Firefox. 4 does not allow me to use two finger mousepad control to expand or contract my screen. Also I don't like the lack of a drop-down arrow next to the back/forward buttons.

    I don't like to have to click and drag to see the drop down history of the back/forward buttons - this requires two fingers or a double tap and hold finger motion. MUCH easier to click and release and take my time to pick the screen I want to go back to, then click on that link with a separate motion.
    I especially don't like that I can no longer expand and contract the screen with two finger motion on my mousepad!!!
    Generally, I don't see any advantage to the new layout - and I have a slight preference to having my tabs closer to the screen rather than above the address bar, since I more frequently click on tabs than on the address bar. If you want to improve the view I would recommend combining the very topmost bar which is part of the window surround with the File Edit etc bar (and please keep File, Edit, View History, etc separated instead of putting them into a dropdown). This will allow the viewer one more line of text on a given webpage, and eliminate the wasted space which is only used to identify the window as FF and provide the close window buttons
    PLEASE help me go back to the old version. It was perfect.

    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles
